Wye Valley

One of the most beautiful natural rivers in Britain, the River Wye meanders for 58 miles through the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), from Hereford in the north down to Chepstow in the south where it meets the Severn.

Idyllic riverside towns and villages abound throughout, from the iconic Symonds Yat to the stunning Tintern, Ross-on-Wye and Redbrook, Llandogo and Monmouth. Three counties are covered here too - Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.

You can hire a canoe or kayak and see the sights from the river, walk the Offa's Dyke Path or Wye Valley Walk or enjoy a driving holiday taking in the views from the roads. The Wye Valley is the perfect place to choose for an exciting rural break with breathtaking views, country pubs, outdoor activities and characterful attractions. The only question is, where will you choose to begin your journey?
